Title: 3D cleaning tool path generation
Inventor: TANIS ADRIANO MAR HERNANDEZ
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2022-01-28
Abstract: A method for generating a toolpath for a cleaning tool comprising receiving point cloud data comprising crevice points, and determining a path which traverses those points. The point cloud data may be downsampled using a voxel-grid filter, and may be converted into a graph wherein the points are stored as nodes with associated normals and positions, and the edges are stored as the normal and position difference between neighbouring nodes. Neighbouring nodes may be defined as nodes with a first predetermined distance that may be 1.5 times the voxel-grid filter resolution. A graph reduction, or edge contraction, may be applied by iteratively merging pairs of average nodes which are within a second predetermined distance that may be approximately the same as the voxel-grid filter resolution. The toolpath may be generated using a complete traversal algorithm by identifying the shortest path between the two nodes that are the furthest away from each other, removing said nodes, and repeating the process on the remaining nodes. A computer may transmit the generated toolpath instructions to the cleaning tool.
